Playing it smart in the Middle East.
Victor Davis Hanson argues in this National Review article that the time has come to stop subsidizing failure in the Middle East. And indeed we have thrown billions at autocrats and dictators year after year in the vain hope that it would buy us protection from something much worse. Of course, like all protection rackets, it didn't and we suffered many attacks on our people right up to 9-11. It is time to stop protecting the people of the Arab world from the consequences of their own foolish beliefs and bad policies. Then we will get real democracy.
